ONLINE COMMUNITY. LIVE WORKSHOPS. THRIVING TRAUMA THERAPISTS.
Building Resilience Against Vicarious Exposure:
A place where trauma therapists can thrive together!
Trauma therapists deserve to be cared for too
It takes a special kind of person to be a trauma therapist and only badasses know how to thrive here like you do.
While you love doing trauma work, there may be times when you question if you can keep doing it because your needs as the carer are not being met.
Think back to the last time you went to bed, only to be kept awake by your clients’ stories. How recently did you rely on avoiding work or numbing out to cope because that was all you could do?
Trauma therapists know healing doesn’t happen in isolation, and yet we spend so much time caring for others that we lack the support we need. You know how to be a trauma therapist, and you do your best to care for yourself.
The problem is you’ve run into the brick wall that is our traumatized system of care and without fellow trauma therapists at your back, you know you’ll continue to stay stuck.
Breaking through that wall together is why I started The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective and I’m so glad you’re here today to learn more about how we can meet your needs as a badass trauma therapist!
The support you’ve been looking for to stay in the field you love is here.

Name It: Develop a regular practice to Name how VT shows up in your life, especially when it’s trying to sneak up on you

What our community is saying:
Hi, I’m Jenny, and I’m here to be BRAVE with you!
I have worked in trauma since 2005. I love this work, and can’t imagine myself doing anything else, but that doesn’t mean I’m immune to the effects of vicarious trauma and burnout.
I’ll never forget the slow creep of vicarious trauma that overshadowed my first year as a fully licensed clinician. I was working my dream job at a Level 1 Trauma Center. The problem? I was alone, without anyone to talk to about my work. Of course I didn’t acknowledge the VT, but my then partner (now husband) sure did.
One day, I got an email from him with a link to a google search about “how to help my trauma therapist girlfriend deal with her work.” WTF?!?! Let me tell you about the rage…and embarrassment…and regret…that I had let it get that bad.
I get how suddenly VT can rear its ugly head, stealing our energy and patience, tempting us to isolate and check out. I also know that healing is possible, especially when we are surrounded by a community of trauma therapists who truly get it.
As a trauma therapist, I know most people don’t sign up for this work, which is fine! And, that’s why I started BRAVE - a place where trauma therapists can come together, support our collective health and well-being, and finally breathe again.
You might be thinking…
“How could an online community possibly help me with vicarious trauma?”
I must admit, I asked myself the same thing when I first started my journey to create a space that is uniquely for trauma therapists. I knew true healing for me really only happened when I could connect with colleagues to process what it’s like to do my work as a trauma therapist. But, would this support really be felt online? I am so proud to share that, yes, it can!
The relationships that are fostered in the BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective are like none other.
In this community, we are surrounded by other trauma therapists who truly get what it’s like to do trauma work day in and day out. Each and every member is committed to providing honest, supportive feedback without judgment or criticism. We are all here to build each other up, never to tear anyone down.

This is a question I often hear from therapists. My response? Membership in The BRAVE Collective isn’t dependent on your degree, how long you’ve been in the field, or the type of trauma work you do. If you treat trauma in any capacity, this space is for you. The BRAVE Collective is a container to hold both the darkness and the light that comes with guiding our clients through their painful pasts, and it’s available to all therapists supporting clients through stress and trauma.

This is such an important question to address - yes, in The BRAVE Collective, we will be talking about our experiences of vicarious trauma and about the things that have caused our VT. However, The Collective is NOT a place to just dump on your fellow members - it is a space where we take an open yet solution-focused approach to managing VT and preventing burnout. Also, I take my role as the facilitator very seriously and it is my job to protect our community so we can be vulnerable and courageous with each other in a protected space.

Yes! I’ll be available in our private community, on our Signal app consultation thread, and on our monthly calls.
